N/naka - Los Angeles

This is a restaurant you go to for a special occasion because it is so well-liked and challenging to reserve a table. There were uncountable courses served, starting with the appetizers, and every one of them was outstanding and impressive. Three staff members simultaneously brought out each person's dish even though there were only three of us, demonstrating their thoughtful and caring service. Few restaurants give customers such consideration. Although the atmosphere in the restaurant is not opulent, it is warm and inviting, allowing you to unwind and enjoy your meal without feeling intimidated. At the conclusion of our meal, the owner chef stopped by to say hello. His warm demeanor made a lasting impression. Here is

The food at this restaurant is excellent with a great menu. Be ready for an explosion of flavor in your taste buds. While the dishes are small, they are all unique and delicious. Overall, the food, service, and atmosphere all receive a 5-star rating.

There are so many places in LA to have a great Kaiseki experience but N/Naka really stands out and is absolutely worth it. The restaurant sits inside a nondescript grey building on the corner of Overland and Lawler in Culver City. The interior environment is small but not cramped and is traditional Japanese modern. The narrow color pallete helps to make the colorful dishes really pop. The tasting menu offers 13 impeccably created courses. From sashimi to pasta to wagyu each one is beautifully plated, art in and of itself. Service is attentive but not overbearing and does a great job of making you feel comfortable. Many other restaurants go for a more stoic experience but N/Naka keeps it somehow fun and light. We opted for the wine and sake pairing and thought it was definitely worth it. It added another element to the tasting experience and was actually a decent value with the opportunity to try 9 different wine and sake. Overall a fantastic experience that definitely lived up to it's reputation. And don't forget there is valet parking in back!
